damn...

wow damn...

thats just dumb...........

all that money just to sit in a parking lot... booooring.

Even so...that still looks good

Who cares about function/purpose. That looks damn good!

Baller status for sure :yeah:

Lets just remove the AC, powersteering and heater from a daily driven car :rolleyes: You know its not a race car because no racer does crap like gold plating a valve cover.

Two words..................

HARD PARKER!

So says the wannabe racecar driver :finger:

+ 1 trillion.

I say rip it, melt down the gold and make a set of gold fronts!

wouldn't the gold melt under normal operating temps?

OK, but what are normal operationg temps for B Series motors? Give or take?

ill check in a bit but Helm's (premier section ;) ), Haynes, team-integra or Honda-tech search :willy:

Way lower then that.
Anodized engine paint at crappy tire can handle up to 500 F.

Gold dipped FTW :yeah:
